Another Day

     Today's newscast was okay. I didn't have any particular problem that I can think of. I think everyone was more or less absorbed in the story involoving a drum major dying. Throughout the day everyone was coming up talking about it, and giving their own idea as to what could've happened and if it was indeed foul play. Besides that... everything was very pretty much the same. There were a couple of hiccups during the show but nothing that couldn't be solved. I will say that the crew, including myself, seemed very tired all day. It felt like we were running low on energy and there was nothing there to left us out of our funk. Maybe everyone was ready to get home for Thanksgiving... I know I am, but funk or not everything was just fine and I can't wait for next week. Happy Thanksgiving everybody.

Today was... eh.

     Today started out pretty well, that is until my AP's hard drive stalled on him. Everything was going great and we were making good time. But, when we started to he that clicking from his hard drive I knew it was going to be bad. I really felt bad because he had a lot of things going on as it was, but we had to keep moving on. I know it really bothered him though because I found it hard to get through to him for a little while afterward. Once he figured out how he can possibly recover what he lost, he was back on track. 

     Even though there were hard drive problems we got over it quickly. Now I could turn my focus to a story that was minutes from breaking. I really didn't want to put it in but knew that I had to. I hate when I have to cover breaking news stories because it throws my whole groove off, but I had to suck it up and roll with the punches.

     I was in a rush try to load the package and in my haste didn't realize it was the wrong package. Then again, it was in the right folder with the correct name, so I didn't think much of it. It wasn't until the package ran on-air that I realized it was wrong. Not only that, but there were misspelling in the sports block... MISSPELLINGS! It wasn't like they were complicated words to began with, they were very much grade school words. I was so upset, I can't believe I missed those.

     All in all, I felt the show would have been great but due to the errors it ended up being very lackluster for me... of well, better luck next week.
